When Nations Want to Settle Things

The prompt settloment of the issue
between the United States and Great
Britain with regard to neutral com-
merce shows how readily disputes are
aljusted it the nations really want to
adjust them.

Great Britain objected to the ship-
ment of foodstuffs and other products
classed as “conditional contraband”
te certain neutral countries, notably
Holland, on the ground that they
would doubtless be sent at once as
supplies to the German army,

In taking this position the British
government accepted the American
doctrine ot the continuous voyage,“
enforced by the United States during
the civil war, under which contraband
sent to a neutral port, to be there
trats-shipped to an enemy’s port, was
- held subject to seizure.

With the. suppl nou- supply of
the enemy's forces the United
Statss naturally had no concern. Its
concern was for the maintenance of
the rights of commerce between neut-
yal nations. It naturally protested
against any theory which could be
made to prohibit commerce between
neutral pations.

In view of this attitude, sound in
reason and maintained with temper
ate firmness, the British government
receded” from its position, The as-
grapes 4 the Dutch govern-

tion of e to Germany, as Eng:
land feared they would be, naturally

There were, ot course, powerful
reasons on all sides to bring about
the spirit of reasonable settlement.
But the case shows, none the less,
that a settlement can always be found

iy matgins that approach the issue

settling it.-Chicago Hearld.

John Redmond and Mr. Devlin lost
no time in getting their recenstructed
committee of the Irish National Vol

1. convention, including
delegate from each county.

An appeal for funds is being made
to the Irish people at home and
abroad to equip and train a force, the
objects of which’ officially are declar-

the advancement and preservation of
Irish rights, and the maintenance or
Irish help to the government.

of the best and “biggest recruiting
agencies for the British army is the

Scotland still leads in recruiting
in proportion to the population. The

A meeting of Free Chureh minist-

Training Officers For the Army |
The ndard has au article on the
work ot the Officers’ Training eve
now busily engaged in the truet:
of officers. for the new army which
Lord Kitchener is organizing. The
writer describes one of the schools at
Headley, near Epsom: He writes: “A
most ‘masterly. preis of the ordinary
| military education is made at Headley
camp, and very particularly have ex-
treme possibilities been overlooked
and practical certainities remember-
ed. Im one very important particular
a Kitchener subaltern has an advan-
tage over the Sandhurst’ cadet. The
former knows — 17 too well that What

. und his start of the day is
eminently practical. He hustles into
garments of sorts and does extension
exercises: after that he tubs in the
open, dresses, and has hig breakfast.
Then follows drill—-parade after rr
ade, with short breaks to rest mind as
well’ as body. The progress which
has been made already is, extraordin-
ary.. I cannot insist too strongly up-
on the supreme practicability of the
teaching given these young officers.
In the short, sharp course of instruc-
tion which they are undergoing those
responsible for the administration of
the “scheme, have avoided both the} u
Scylia of cramming and the Charybdis

lectures are wiched in Ep ol
the drill periods, and at haif-past four
comes tea. Subsequently there is the
necessary private atudy. Private study
at Headley camp does not mean the
mechanica over long-winded
military treaties. Today we have the
Field Service Pocket Beok, ‘and the
young man who has a practical know!-
edge of that most admirable epitome
of all military duty is, ipso facto,

training of these young officers as a

Financial Stringency

Mrs. Barrows was worried—-that
fact was evident to her husband, al-
though she tried very hard to main-
taim her usual cheerful manner. But
before the evening was over she
imparted to him the cause

War Brought - “Prebperity to Cuba

“The Buropean. war,“ says a tra

‘spenders.’ North American goods,

“The sugar crop is better this year
than it has been for many years.
Not obly is it larger than usual, but
they\ are getting better prices for it
than ever before. This is due to
the European war, Which has cut
down the beet sugar crop cf the con-

one-half. Prices for raw, sugar

“In the ten Years J have been

France's Bmergen cy Cap ran ne

Bordeaux, whica has suddenly risen |
to the position of the first city of the

French republic, greatly © resembles |
Versailles the beautiful,

One might say that the same spirit

esided over its construction. Its
th | builders: planned it on a large scale
and, as in the Gase of Versailles, to
outbid Paris. This is the impression
given to the visitor to Bordeaux when
he sees. its spacious ‘streets, its im-
mense squares, its enormous build-
ings and monuments.

Nevertheless, the ensemble is pleas.
ing, for there are plenty of trees and
ple of gardens, which lend a coun-
Puned air and a pretty tinge of greza
to the city with its gigantic stone
buildings. In temrerament the Bor-
delais are very like the Southcrners,
more particularly the people of Mar-
seilles,

They are a pocket-edition of Tar-
tarin de Tarascon, Alphonse Daudet's
braggart hero of Southern Francs.
Like their brothers of Marseilles they
must: always be on the move, and,
above all, must be continually boast-
ing of their prowess. ;

Historically speaking, Bordeaux 46
a very ancient town, the origin of
which is own. It made its ap-
pearance suddenly under the Romans,
about 200 X. D., and was then already
a large town.

The Romans completely demolish-
ed it and reconstracted it in ite at-
ual proportions about 400 A.D. Bor-
deaux was several times under Eng
lish domination, and trages of its |
eccupation are still to be found in a)
kind of colony which lies quite close
to the city.. This colony, which pro-
duces an excellent wine which is very
well known, is still called “La Colonie
Anglaise.”

Bordeaux surrendered to ese
for the last time in 1814, when Louis
XVIII. was proclaimed King there. |

had retreated across the Aisne at Sois-

rapidly, and, were trying to rush their
masses across the bridge after us. The
bridge had to be blown up. German
sharpshooters were firing at us from
a clump of trees, and their mitrail-

Allies. The whole place was an infer-

this ‘gate of hell’ your Royal Hngin-

dashed towards the bridge and, al-

a charge sufficient to destroy it, but
before they could light the fuse they
were all killed.
